MIKROTIK WiFi 7 802.11be 2.5 Gigabit Dual Band Triple Chain Router & Access Point hAP be lite (A42G-HbeP)

Features:

The hAP be lite brings modern Wi-Fi 7 performance and RouterOS flexibility into a compact and affordable platform built for setups where space, style, speed, and budget all matter equally. The compact design, low power consumption (up to 12 W), and USB-C powering make placement simple almost anywhere.

Powerful dual-band Wi-Fi 7 antennas and WiFi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) deliver BE3600-class wireless performance for laptops, phones, tablets, and other everyday devices.

Wi-Fi 7 products are designed for today’s extremely crowded wireless environments, where more devices than ever are competing for the same airspace. Even in busy areas, Wi-Fi 7 helps keep connections smooth and responsive. The hAP be lite combines dual-chain 2.4 GHz and triple-chain 5 GHz radios, giving additional wireless capacity where modern devices need it most.

On the wired side, hAP be lite has three Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed uplinks, workstations, NAS devices, or other demanding situations.

Under the hood, the hAP be lite runs on a modern dual-core ARM CPU at 950 MHz with 512 MB of RAM, delivering reliable performance for advanced networking tasks and heavy traffic.

But hardware is only part of the story. With RouterOS, you get far more than basic wireless connectivity. Build VLANs, configure VPNs, shape traffic, apply advanced firewall rules, automate tasks with scripting, and fully customize your setup to match your exact needs.

No artificial limits. No subscriptions, paywalls or locked features. RouterOS gives you full control, whether you are managing a single compact setup or a much larger network.

You also get access to the updated CAPsMAN for centralized management of multiple MikroTik access points from a single interface.
